Make Hay When the Sun Shines

Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-1
Along Highway 8 between Hamilton and Cambridge, Ontario.
I wish I’d had more time to stop and shoot farm pictures; this is the only one I was able to take. I did a little Photoshopping on the colours and the sky.

It’s an absurd hour and I have to get some kip and go to work, but I’m writing this post, anyway, at the risk of glaring sleepy typos.
Kingston, Ontario is the halfway point between where Tanya and her new hubby (not that there’s an old one!) Graeme are currently vacationing in Montreal and my [...]

It’s All About the Light

Photography enthusiasts seem go on and on about light, but it really is what makes the picture. If the lighting isn’t good, even vivid colours go flat. I prefer natural light, but I also like to take photos at night because it’s an entirely different atmosphere to the same scene during the day.
Some pics from [...]

Dancing with Swing Connexion at the Montreal Jazz Festival from Alain Wong and Vimeo.
Check this out: Zack Richard, Maryse Lebeau, Mélanie Huot-Lavoie and Alain Wong swinging it up to Swing Tonique at the Montreal International Jazz Festival as part of the Louisiana Parade.
I was back in the crowd, so the most I got of the [...]

Kermit was rather miffed that he missed the entire Montreal International Jazz Fest because I left him in my bag, so I tried to make it up to him by letting him roam Ottawa.
We just returned, much later than expected, from Montreal with a detour to the nation’s capital. It’s been a great Canada Day [...]

I’ve got a horseshoe up… where the sun don’t shine, shall we say… for parking here in Montreal, because I’ve found street parking downtown both days for either small change or free during a very busy weekend. Between Canada Day festivities and the Jazz Festival the city centre is flooded with tourists and locals and [...]

Vieux Montréal

Brunch calls, so I will post some photos of Old Montreal taken yesterday:

These little kids were jumping and dancing to a live music performance, a sight that was irresistible for the camera. I loved the little guy’s jaunty cap.

The photoset thus far is here.

Happy Birthday Canada!

July 1 is Canada Day, but I wanted to post a photo I took in Halifax harbour one week ago because I like how the flag looks:

One reason why I chose to live in Eastern Canada is to give myself opportunities to explore more of this side of the country. I’ve lived in BC, AB, [...]

I’m on the flakiest wi-fi connection ever here at our hotel, and so I’m only able to upload these two photos successfully:

Bonnie and I ventured around Old Montreal during the day, and met up with my cousin Wagner after dinner for his Night Tour Special* around the city. We spent some time on Mount Royal [...]

I suppose last weekend in Paris wasn’t enough French culture for me, I’m ready to push forward to Montreal tomorrow! And you can be sure I will be on the hunt for some poutine. It’ll look like this, but with cheese curds:

NOT poutine, but halfway there…
I got my first taste of poutine during my one-year [...]
